Total support service for chemical analysis

Here is an example of analyzing organic-inorganic composite materials using FT-IR and SEM-EDX. FT-IR measurements were conducted on the glossy and non-glossy areas of the surface of a PET bottle label, revealing that the IR spectra differed between the glossy and non-glossy areas. The non-glossy area is thought to primarily consist of acrylic resin, as its spectrum is similar to that of acrylic resin. Additionally, SEM-EDX measurements were performed on both the glossy and non-glossy areas, and the EDX spectrum and backscattered electron images showed that the non-glossy area contained sulfur (S) and barium (Ba), which were not detected in the glossy area.

At Aites Co., Ltd., we conduct "optical film analysis." Optical films used in smartphones and other devices have various functions depending on their structure and materials. We measured the light transmittance of privacy protection films at different angles and combined cross-sectional observation with Raman analysis to investigate the mechanism of function manifestation. By investigating the transmittance characteristics of privacy protection films using angle-variable spectrophotometry, we were able to analyze the mechanism of function manifestation through cross-sectional observation and Raman analysis. At Aites, we provide consistent evaluation and analysis from material properties to the mechanisms of function manifestation.

We would like to introduce our "Chemical Analysis - Trust Us Service." When conducting component analysis of foreign substances or stains on products, it can be challenging to determine whether organic analysis or inorganic analysis is more suitable, and which specific analysis within organic or inorganic is the most appropriate. We provide a comprehensive service for customers who are struggling with the selection of analysis methods. Since each analytical instrument is capable of measuring different targets, it is necessary to choose the method that fits the purpose based on the information available.

This is an example of analyzing impurities confirmed from a solvent when high-purity products are stored in inappropriate environments using liquid injection GC-MS. Ethanol, stored in a light-protective reagent bottle in a cool, dark place, was transferred to a used plastic wash bottle and left at room temperature for about a month. As a result, impurities such as triethyl borate and alkylbenzenes were detected. Additionally, acetone, stored in a light-protective reagent bottle in a cool, dark place, was transferred to a transparent glass bottle without light protection and left at room temperature for about a month, resulting in the detection of diacetone alcohol as an impurity.
